Hearing protectors - Safety requirements and testing - Part 5: Active noise reduction ear-muffs
This part of the Standard is concerned with ear-muffs whose passive acoustic performance may be augmented by a noise cancellation electronic circuit. It specifies constructional, design and performance requirements, methods of test, marking requirements and user information. This part of the Standard does not deal with ear-muffs for attachment to a helmet or which are part of a helmet. Neither does it deal with open-air electronic earphones that are not intended to provide attenuation. The requirements of this standard are intended to take account of the ergonomic interaction between the wearer, the device and where possible the working environment in which the device is likely to be used (see Annex ZA, of this standard and EN 458).

EN 352-5:2002 (E)4IntroductionThis standard for ”Hearing Protectors – Safety requirements and testing – Part 5: Active noise reduction ear-muffs”, specifies procedures for the testing of personal hearing protection devices in relation to Directive89/686/EEC - Personal Protective Equipment.EN 352-1 deals with requirements for ear-muffs, EN 352-2 with ear-plugs, EN 352-3 with ear-muffs attachedto industrial safety helmets.
EN 13819-1
and EN 13819-2 deal with testing plans common to all types ofhearing protectors covered by this series of ENs.Additional safety requirements and the associated test procedures for level-dependent ear-muffs arecontained in EN 352-4, for ear-muffs with electrical audio input in prEN 352-6 and for level-dependent ear-plugs in prEN 352-7.
An associated standard EN 458, covers selection, use, care and maintenance ofhearing protection.The particular requirement for hearing protectors in relation to their ability to reduce noise to below daily limitlevels set by Directive 86/188/EEC - "on the protection of workers from the risks related to exposure to noise atwork" is addressed in the standard by means of a requirement to report the active component of attenuationprovided by the ear-muffs, to complement the passive attenuation data reported within EN 352-1.An additional acoustic performance test method to that described in EN 24869-1 and applied in EN 352-1, EN352-2 and EN 352-3 is required for active noise reduction ear-muffs. Until such time as this work is completed thetest method
described in Annex B of this standard is recommended for active noise reduction ear-muffs inaddition to the EN 24869-1 test.Active noise reduction ear-muffs are designed to provide additional attenuation of external sounds by means of anoise cancellation circuit. This additional attenuation is usually provided at low and mid frequencies. They may beselected for use in low frequency dominated high noise environments.This part of the standard is a specification intended for type approval purposes, for which four sets of specimenear-muffs are tested (further samples may be required for testing under EN 352-1, or EN 352-3, as appropriate).The requirements and tests of the standard are concerned primarily with the active noise reduction performanceof the ear-muffs. The standard may be applied to ear-muffs for fitting to industrial safety helmets.1 ScopeThis European Standard is concerned with active noise reduction (ANR) ear-muffs. It specifies additionalconstructional, design and performance requirements, methods of test, marking requirements and userinformation relating to the incorporation of the active noise reduction facility.The requirements of this standard are intended to take account of the ergonomic interaction between thewearer, the device and, where possible, the working environment in which the device is likely to be used (seeAnnex ZA of this standard and EN 458)2 Normative referencesThis European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications.These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listedhereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply tothis European Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references thelatest edition of the publication referred to applies (including amendments).EN 352-1:2002, Hearing protectors - General requirements - Part 1: Ear-muffsSIST EN 352-5:2003
